The previous packaging format for Godot Android plugins consisted of the plugin's `gdap` config file accompanied by binaries defined in the `gdap` file.
This format is now deprecated (starting with Godot 4.2), and instead Godot Android plugins are now packaged as `EditorExportPlugin` plugins.
The `EditorExportPlugin` class has been updated with the following methods to provide the necessary set of functionality:
- `_supports_platform`: returns true if the plugin supports the given platform
- `_get_android_dependencies`: retrieve the set of android dependencies (e.g: `org.godot.example:my-plugin:0.0.0`) provided by the plugin
- `_get_android_dependencies_maven_repos`: retrieve the urls of the maven repos for the provided android dependencies
- `_get_android_libraries`: retrieve the local paths of the android libraries (AAR files) provided by the plugin
- `_get_android_manifest_activity_element_contents`: update the contents of the `<activity>` element in the generated Android manifest
- `_get_android_manifest_application_element_contents`: update the contents of the `<application>` element in the generated Android manifest
- `_get_android_manifest_element_contents`: update the contents of the `<manifest>` element in the generated Android manifest
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
This reverts commit 4b817a565c.
Fixes#64988.
Fixes#64997.
This caused several regressions (#64988, #64997,
https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/64997#issuecomment-1229970605)
which point at a flaw in the current logic:
- `Control::NOTIFICATION_ENTER_TREE` triggers a *deferred* notification with
`NOTIFCATION_THEME_CHANGED` as introduced in #62845.
- Some classes use their `THEME_CHANGED` to cache theme items in
member variables (e.g. `style_normal`, etc.), and use those member
variables in `ENTER_TREE`, `READY`, `DRAW`, etc. Since the `THEME_CHANGE`
notification is now deferred, they end up accessing invalid state and this
can lead to not applying theme properly (e.g. for EditorHelp) or crashing
(e.g. for EditorLog or CodeEdit).
So we need to go back to the drawing board and see if `THEME_CHANGED` can be
called earlier so that the previous logic still works?
Or can we refactor all engine code to make sure that:
- `ENTER_TREE` and similar do not depend on theme properties cached in member
variables.
- Or `THEME_CHANGE` does trigger a general UI update to make sure that any
bad theme handling in `ENTER_TREE` and co. gets fixed when `THEME_CHANGE`
does arrive for the first time. But that means having a temporary invalid
(and possibly still crashing) state, and doing some computations twice
which might be heavy (e.g. `EditorHelp::_update_doc()`).
